Homeowners can also improve their window security by selecting more durable glass and installing multi-point locking systems.

The windows of London's historic buildings, whether the Georgian townhouses in Mayfair or the cutting-edge glass facades in Canary Wharf, add character and awe. The weather and bustling city life can wear them quickly. Many need to be repaired. The problem is carrying out repairs that do not harm the structure of the building and don't affect the building's unique features. A wide range of repair options is available and includes reclaimed wood, which gives new life to old timber. However, it is essential to use materials that are sustainable and that come from forests that have been well-managed.

Water leaks, air infiltration or erosions caused by salt and sand can harm window frames. It is more beneficial to repair the frames rather than replace them, particularly in listed or period properties. Employing experienced joiners and right materials, such as hardwood or reclaimed timber, will ensure the repair will last as long as the frame that was originally installed.

A common problem for sash windows in older houses is dry rot. Dry rot can be extremely difficult to treat. It may necessitate the replacement of the entire window frame. However, research shows that this is only necessary in 5% of cases. Restoring wooden frames is more environmentally friendly than replacement and can cut down on emissions of CO2 by a significant amount.
